[STR New] Link: http://www.fltk.org/str.php?L2364 Version: 2.0-current Ready? The link has been fixed. That was a seriously demolished tarball. Sorry about that. It has a few quirks still (uninstall leaves some junk?), but can be made to function fairly simply, I think, on most linuxes as follows: Here's how to assure the best chances of success. ************************************************ 1. d/load the tarball. It should be 4,537,965 bytes. Let me know if it's short (again). 2. put it somewhere where you can keep it if you want to use the update feature. Info on how to do that is inside the tarball. 3. click on install.exec If your browser opens to the build folder, open a terminal and (for now) type 4. make setup-32 If this fails, take the desktop link or cd to ~/usr32/src/FTL and try that again. Then type 5. make This so far has been tested on two different computers. No guarantees but if it works we're almost done. Then type 6. make install You thought you were already installed? Nope. You're the developer. Now we need the user's version. ************************************************ So this will copy and place the files so far created into your user's home folder under ~/usr32/* It also creates an uninstaller that is automatically called each time you 'make install'. Once it's working other options will make more sense so we'll skip 'em for now. Then if we get this far, there's just one more required step. Click on (or type) setup-paths. This should open your very first working ui and you can use it to set the paths in your .bashrc file. The app will need both paths; the bin as well as the lib path. >From this point on apps will run from the commandline. If you want them all to be clickable, for example all the files in the examples folder, logout and back in so that the bashrc paths apply to kde, gnome, etc. as well as to the command line. The app called 'browser' in the examples folder has the KDE3 scrollbars, if you want to see them. 00-test.ui should allow you to preview themes in fluid, and the executable 00-test should allow changing themes on the fly. To uninstall the stuff, type 'make uninstall' or find the uninstaller and click on it in the ~/usr/uninstall/folder. The build files aren't normally removed by the uninstaller since this is for development, but they can be nuked easily enough, all at once. Removing the paths and desktop icon is up to you too, but the installer seems to be quite effective for the binaries and headers, etc. Remember: do not use superuser. That's not necessary, and in fact it is risky for experimental builds since it's not easy to keep separate versions isolated in the root tree and confusion about which lib actually got linked can waste a lot of time debugging things that are not bugs. Good luck. Keep me posted if there are any more problems. (Themes as they were probably couldn't have worked in the first place.) .
